Table II.
Effect of G. eucheumoides extract on the loaded swimming time of mice.
| Group | Dose (mg/kg) | Number of mice | Loaded swimming time (sec) | Increment rate of loaded swimming time (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 0 | 10 | 31.3±0.2 | - |
| Low-dose | 20 | 10 | 38.7±0.4 | 19.1a |
| Medium-dose | 40 | 10 | 41.3±0.5 | 32.0b |
| High-dose | 80 | 10 | 36.4±0.2 | 16.3a |
The increment rate of loaded swimming time represents the time of a group compared with that of the control group.
a
Significant difference between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05);
b
highly significant difference between the treatment and control groups (P<0.01).
